Okay, this isn't really an episode about speculative investing. Well, it is. But I'm not talking about crypto or meme stocks. I'm talking about the challenges of living and working as a speculative investment.

Today's episode is a brief reflection on self-speculation, the "anticipatory, speculative self," and why the second person is so ubiquitous on social media.

Footnotes:

  • "Verified: Self-presentation, identity management, and selfhood in the age of big data" by Alison Hearn in Self-(Re)presentation Now
  • "The Truth About Influence" by Alison Hearn in Re-thinking Mediations of Post-Truth Politics and Trust
  • Psychopolitics by Byung-Chul Han
  • "What 'You' and 'We' Say About Me" by Ariana Orvell
